I'm sure this has been reported before, but I found some Coruscant wave figures today with RED holograms.





Variation hunters beware!

Diddly, why not just get the Target Senate packs?  For $20 you get two superior Shocktroopers, a Senate pod and a Palpatine you can customize.

 :)

True, but it's the Yoda and Palpatine actually keeping me from getting more. Plus, the way these are piling up, I'm hoping I can get some on clearance.

Here's one from Scum that I really liked... and Hasbro had a somewhat decent answer in my opinion for once on this subject.

...

Hasbro: We look to products that will produce the greatest return on our resource investment. Vehicles and figures are more popular play patterns for the kid audience than playsets, and the lines you referenced are squarely kid-targeted. We are looking to introduce some new 3-3/4” vehicles next year (and re-introduce some high demand ones this Fall).[/i]

This answer makes no sense. They don't even answer the question! If vehicles and figures are popular for kids, then why bother making **** like Customs and Attacktix?

Hasbro: You bet. This year in fact you'll see more mixing, especially later in the year, and troop builders will be key. However, we haven't created a specific clean Sandtrooper version yet.

WHEN DID THEY ASK ABOUT A CLEAN SANDTROOPER? Come on, Hasbro!

That's true, but I want a few of them, and the H&V/GB one may be hard to find... ;)

Ugh. I have to buy 3 crappy figures and a 4th Obi-Wan JUST to get a #6 Shocktrooper? The R2 looks cool though, and might actually fit in with other astromechs due to the unique paintings some have.

Heh, no, it's ok. I wish they'd make a lower ranked Imperial body for heads like that. My inspiration for using that head was probably Pyro from the X-Men movies, with the "spiked" hair and all. I'll have to search for an Antilles head to, sounds like a good idea.

No name for him, sadly, Findswoman.

I'm hoping to have some "better" customs over the next week or so though. ;)

Out of boredom, I decided to do a quick headswap custom for this month's contest!

First we have an Imperial Moff:





Recipe:

Head: OTC Dagobah Luke
Body: ROTS Tarkin

I know it stinks compared to the other work, but it was great for killing boredom :)

WOW! :o

I feel like I'm watching ANH with alternate camera angles! The walls and floor are very realistic. That drink dispenser is great! Wonderful, wonderful work!

Does that "blue cross" thing at the entrance light up?

Photonovels and Movies / Shadowstalker - Chapter One
« on: June 15, 2006, 01:05 AM »
About a year ago, I brought you a photonovel series called The Sith Revelations. Budget, real life, and a variety of other things interfered, however, and I quietly axed the project the weekend after Thanksgiving after the latest novel had been posted. One week later, I found a Utapau Shadow Trooper at Target. I had an idea for a Photonovel ever since I saw the prototype pics for the Trooper, but decided to hold off for a while. Now, I have decided to pick up the project and bring it to you. Here's a preview...





The Clone Wars are raging across the Galaxy. Jedi and their Clones fight Battle Droids on various planets. Luckily, I am not with them.



I am a specially trained Clone Trooper - like ARC Troopers, only a few of my kind exist. However, I am different than any other Clone. My work begins at sundown.



Interesting things happen at night. Greedy politicians make deals with underworld gangsters, threatening what little peace and stability is left in the galaxy. They sit in the shadows of their offices, thinking they're alone.



But they don't know that I'm there with them. Listening to every word they say. They're about to die. All because of me.

I am a Shadow Trooper.



Expect a July release!

Everytime I see your vehicles it makes me want to buy some of those cheap GI Joe knock off vehicles they sell at Wal-Mart and make one of my own. I love it! Painting and weathering are both great and very "Star Wars realistic".

Nice! The painting is smooth and crisp. That arm on the Melee Trooper reminds me of Mega Man. I like the Slicer ARC the best though. Really good job!

Found R5, Hammerhead, Luke, Han, and Vader today. I picked up R5 and Hammerhead, but passed on Luke because I didn't bring enough cash thinking I wouldn't find anything. Stupid me. Luke looks even better in person, so it was really hard to put it back.

EDIT: felt like taking some comparison pics that Jared didn't...
